MRA: Network-Based Training and Access to HPC using NERO-- the Network for Engineering and Research in Oregon

这个NSF元中心区域联盟（MRA）将把俄勒冈联合工程研究生院与圣地亚哥超级计算机中心连接起来。目标是改善太平洋西北地区工程师和科学家对高性能计算（HPC）的访问。促进这项合作工作的将是一个高速光纤网络，即俄勒冈工程与研究网络（NERO），该网络于1994年首次部署。拟议的MRA将利用该基础设施，通过分布式访问HPC平台、支持并行编程的工具和环境、在线培训材料和示例应用程序，以及通过几种类型的远程协作会议获取关键人力资源，来扩展HPC用户社区。MRA将利用NERO基础设施提供：专门为非计算机科学家开发的基于网络的交互式培训材料和示例应用程序的分布式、基于网络的HPC工具和环境信息库；研讨会、远程用户组会议和交互式咨询会议的全网络交互式广播，包括实时和事后回放的桌面视频会议；共享白板和共享文件系统，通过NERO广域网进行MRA协作，高速网络访问俄勒冈州的并行计算平台，专用网络访问圣地亚哥超级计算机中心，这是与其他国家和地区元中心合作的框架

9523629 Pancake This NSF Metacenter Regional Alliance(MRA) will Link the Oregon Joint Graduate School of Engineering to the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The objective is to improve access to high performance computing (HPC) for engineers and scientists in the Pacific Northwest. Facilitating this collaborative work will be a high speed fiber optic network, the Network for Engineering and Research in Oregon (NERO), which was first deployed in 1994. The proposed MRA will exploit that infrastructure to expand the HPC user community through distributed access to HPC platforms, to tools and environments supporting parallel programming, to online training materials and example applications, and to key human resources via several types of remote collaborative sessions. The MRA will exploit the NERO infrastructure to provide: a distributed, network-based repository of information on HPC tools and environments network-based, interactive training materials and example applications developed specifically for non-computer scientists network-wide interactive broadcasts of seminars, remote user group meetings, and interactive consulting sessions, both real-time and as after-the-fact replay desktop videoconferencing, shared white boards and shared file system for MRA collaboration over the NERO wide area network highspeed network access to parallel computing platforms within Oregon dedicated network access to the San Diego Supercomputer Center a framework for collaboration with other national and regional metacenters
